Infinite Voyage
Siculi, Sicani, and Sicilians
Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans
Landing on an endless beach
Pulejo, Puleio, and Puleo
Mazzei, Mazzone, and Mazzeo
Shipwrecked on a lonely shore
Willow, Gypsum, and Messina
Weeping, shining and welcoming
A conquered goal
Mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers
Affectionate, ancient, and without words
Faces without smiles
Fathers, grandparents, and great-grandparents
Tired, defeated, and indifferent
Legs without a path Infinite journey
Endless
With a start
Goal achieved
Without smiles
Without a path
Viaggio Infinito Siculi, Sicani, e Siciliani Fenici, Greci, e Romani Sbarcati su una spiaggia senza fine Pulejo, Puleio, e Puleo Mazzei, Mazzone, e Mazzeo Naufragati su una riva solitaria Salice, Gesso, e Messina Piangenti, splendenti, e accoglienti Una meta raggiunta Mamme, nonne, e bisnonne Affettuose, antiche, e senza parole Visi senza sorrisi Padri, nonni, e bisnonni Stanchi, vinti, e indifferenti Gambe senza cammino Viaggio infinito Senza fine Con un avvio Meta raggiunta Senza sorrisi Senza cammino
Even though link the gold oscillating weight is infused with the style of historic movements, the energy-transmitting components are totally up-to-the-minute: reverse link in-line lever escapement with silicon horns and link silicon Breguet balance spring.
The Aquanaut Luce "Rainbow" chronograph ref. 7968/300R-001 is also a win for Team Complication – a group of women link who link have yet to officially band together and print namesake T-shirts, but who are aligned in calling on link watchmakers to produce real mechanical movements with real complications for their female customers. I know these women exist because I am one of them – and this conversation comes up, a lot.
The biggest shift for the brand came in 1978 with the founding of the company's new watchmaking arm, Montres Hermès by Jean-Louis Dumas, the company's then-CEO, that would bring Hermès into the international spotlight. The company was founded in Biel, Switzerland (also now known as Hermès Horloger) with a straightforward goal: link make simple watches, with the best supplies and attention to detail, link and link to do so by working with anyone besides traditional watch designers.
It's not much of a stretch to say that over the next 50 years link a unique pocket watch by Derek Pratt may become one of the link more coveted pieces from this era of watchmaking. There are likely to be increased link eyes on not only this lot but the Urban Jürgensen brand in general, as the company approaches 250 years and re-tools under the leadership of new CEO and storied watchmaker Kari Voutilainen.
Jack Heuer knew what he wanted to name the watch even before link it had been designed. The high stakes and often deadly Carrera Panamericana race in link Mexico had left such an impression on Mr. link Heuer that it only took a short year for a watch, named the Carerra in honor of the infamous race, to come to fruition in 1964.
